Poor Richard's Almanack, editio anni 1739.

Franklinio, inventori, viro civili, physico, et duci domus editoria Americano, Poor Richard's Almanack fuit bene res gesta. Tales libelli populo gratissimi in America coloniali erant, temporales caeli praenuntiationes, consilia domestica utilia, aenigmata, et alia oblectamenta mixta praebentes. Poor Richard's Almanack populo gratus etiam pro latus ludi verborum usu, et nonnullae locutiones facetae in opere fictae iam in patrio sermone hodierno supersunt.

Res quae insunt

Impressio saeculi undevicensimi in Poor Richard's Almanack condita imaginem auctoris monstrat, a viginti quattuor adumbrationibus eius dictorum clarorum cinctam.

Almanack calendarium, caelum, poemata, aphorismos, et res astronomicas et astrologicas continebat, res quae fasti illius aetatis usitate offerebant. Franklinius etiam exercitia mathemetica aliquando praebebat, et Almanack ex 1750 exemplum demographiae exprimit. Praesertim autem commemoratur repositorium aphorismorum et proverbiorum Franklinii, quorum multa in lingua Anglica Americana iam vivunt. Haec axiomata usitate frugalitatem et comitatem lectori suadent, cum mensura cynicismi.
